RE: My introduction post!

Hi @lepo
Welcome to the community. :0)
I found your post thanks to the great ladies of the @heyhaveyamet initiative.

As you probably know by now, SteemIt has set some very unfair rules for newcomers, which limit you in the amount of posts and comments that you can make.

I checked your wallet, and noticed you had 15 Steem Power. The amount of Steem Power you have, determines how many Resource credits you have. (You use resource credits every time you post, comment or like something.) When you don't have a lot of Steem Power, you run out of Resource credits quite quickly, and then you can't post or comment, or even upvote a post - but I assume you already found out about that - until they have recharged.

You can keep an eye on your Resource Credits here: https://steemd.com/@lepo

At the top, you'll see this:

The blue bar is your Voting power - it decreases every time you upvote a post and recharges over time. It is recommended to keep your Voting Power above 80%, so it will recharge in 1 day.

The orange bar shows your Resource Credits. With every transaction you make (vote, comment, post), your Resource Credits will decrease. They will recharge, but that takes time.

If you scroll down a bit, you can see exactly what you can do with the Resource Credits you have left. At this moment, you can only make one more comment before you run out of RC. Then you'll have to wait until it recharges before you can make another comment.

I don't think it is fair to limit new users like that. After all, you're new, and there is such a whole lot to discover, of which the most important thing is the awesome community we have here. But to become a part of that community, to get to know people, you should be able to comment on other people's posts and engage with people.

So I'm always on the lookout for promising newcomers that could use a little help. So I delegated some of my Steem Power to you, to give you a chance to start your SteemIt adventure a little more freely - without having to run out of Resource Credits all the time.

Basically that means you will have a little more Steem Power, and as a result more Resource credits. This will allow you to be more active on the platform.

Be sure to still keep an eye on that orange bar - it will still decrease, but you'll be able to do more before it reaches zero and you're locked out.

I hope this will help you to find your way on SteemIt, and to get to know all the awesome people that are hanging out here.

SteemIt has quite a steep learning curve in the beginning, but if you take it one step at a time, you'll be okay. If you have any questions, feel free to ask. you can leave a comment on one of my posts, or just tag me in any post or comment you make (@simplymike), and I will be notified and will try to help you out.

Btw, you're European... where you're from? Just being curious, lol.

@simplymike sorry for the late answer. I haven't been able to log on much lately unfortunately. Thanks a lot for this information. I learned a lot already!

Also thank you so much for the delegation. I agree that it seems a bit unfair if someone wants to be really active from the start but can't due to RC. This will help a lot in not limiting me as much now that I am getting started. I really appreciate the help!

I am from Sweden, how about you?

Hey @lepo
I'm sorry - I managed to miss your reply completely. I hope you are still around... this place is definitely worth overcoming all the hurdles you have to take when you first start out.

I'm from Belgium myself. Never been to Sweden, although we're planning to go there once I'm completely recovered from my back injury...
